Description

Field of the Invention.

[0001] The present invention concerns a process of production of a yarn by a method of continuous spinning from a sliver comprising a step of drawing the sliver to form a drawn roving having a yarn fineness strengthened by a twist obtained by rotation of the yarn beginning together with the yarn spool being wound on a spindle, and a step of central guiding of the manufactured yarn through a guide means before its entry on the rotating working surface to guide the yarn by the effect of centrifugal and tensional forces until it reaches an eyelet provided at its edge and carried by the working surface, by which eyelet the yarn is guided in its transport out of contact with the working surface for being wound on to the rotating spool, the axial position of which with respect to the edge of the working surface is changing in the course of winding.

Background of the Invention.

[0002] The ring spinning is known as the highest stand of technic of the principle of continuous spinning of staple fibres. A negation of this system is however the physical limit of revolutions of the spindle, beyond which the method cannot be carried out. This limit is in the range of 25 000 revolutions per minute. This results from the fact that with the increasing speed of the spindles there increases also the real risk that the yarn breaks by the effect of cetrifigal forces. The traveller is also subject to the effects of a centrifugal force and for this reason the increase of spindle revolutions causes further unwanted effects. For example at high speeds the traveller is torn away from the ring and the process of spinning is consequently interrupted. As the cetrifigual force acting on the traveller increases, this results in a quick wear of the traveller and also of the ring in the contact areas.

[0003] The practice of raising the productivity of the ring spinning system has concentrated itself on the following essential problems. It limits the yarn baloon. By a rational construction of the shape of the traveller it tries to limit its tearing away from the ring and at the same time to limit its wear, even if this problem is solved in particular by the production technology and by the material composition. In spite of this the limit of 25 000 revolutions of the spindle in a minute is an absolutely top value, which is exceptional and in the long terms practically unutilizable.

[0004] The structure of the ring yarn is however so significant by its utility value that it was not so far susceptible to be fully substituted by the more productive technologies, i.e. the rotor ones. For this reason various solutions are being proposed which try to solve and overcome the cited technical and technological limitations of the speed of yarn building.

[0005] For example according to DE 31 40 422 A1 the ring, mounted pivotally with respect to the machine frame, is driven. At the same time there is connected with this rotating ring a ring-shaped baloon limiter, provided on two supporting ribs. The rotational movement of the ring takes place in a regime in which the angular speed of the ring is lower than the angular speed Of the spindle. This solution provides with respect to the classic ring spinning machine an advantage residing in the fact that it allows a reduction of the relative speed of the traveller and of the ring, by what an increase of service life of the ring and of the traveller is obtained. The effect of the limiter, which is moving,is more favourable on the yarn from the aspect of its surface structure . The disadvantage of this solution resides however as before therein that it allows only in a limited fashion to raise the limit of attainable productivity of the ring spinning in consequence of the fact that the yarn is unable to resist the load to which it is subject, in particular in the section downstream of the baloon limiter in the partial balooning. A technical drawback is constituted also by the ribs carrying the limiter, which cause by their ventilation during the rotation oscillations of the partial yarn baloon what leads to lacks of stability in the spinning process.

[0006] Just this negation is absent in the case of the solution proposed in DE-PS 1 053 365 where the yarn limiter is constituted by a surface of a bell cavity. The apparatus is arranged in such a way that on a stationary axis mounted in the cover of an electromotor there is mounted pivotally in bearings the cited bell, on bottom of which there is arranged the yarn guide. Thee yarn guide is constituted by a channel inclined to the rotation axis of the bell. On the edge of the bell there is attached a ring provided with a traveller.

[0007] The yarn which is to be built, introduced into the bell, is applied by a centrifugal force on the surface of the bell cavity and is further guided by the traveller before being wound-up on the spool mounted on the rotating spindle. The bell exhibits lower revolutions than the spool, while the friction between the traveller and the ring builds an axial tension of the yarn for winding. This apparatus is capable to put the yarn to a rest and to limit perfectly the yarn baloon but exhibits one unavoidable technical drawback. In order to allow the building of the yarn winding, the yarn with the traveller must necessarilly circle the spindle in a frequency corresponding to the frequency of the yarn, reduced by the number of windings of the yarn. Since however the yarn guide constituted by the inclined channel does not allow the relative circle of the traveller around the ring in a greater central angle than it corresponds to about one half of the circumference of the ring, it is necessary to let the whole bell circle, in a corresponding fashion in dependance of the number windings, the ring with the traveller being the parts of said bell.

[0008] Even if the known apparatus described in DE-PS 1 053 365 intends to solve this problem in such a way that the advantageous difference of revolutions of the spindle and of the bell is achieved by electromotors with position switching, while the electromotor of the bell exhibits a greater slip than the electromotor of the spindle, the problem of achieving an instantaneous state of the difference is a much more complicated problem, the means of which solutions either are hitherto unknown or are too complicated and technically few reliable. Undoubtedly, the proposed solution could not certainly work without a perfect indication system, the sensors of which should be able to iniciate according to the instantaneous state of the wound yarn package, i.e. of the diameter of the yarn wound-up on the spindle, the necessary difference of frequencies in the limits of a precision which could be subsequently compensated by a relative motion of the traveller in the given range of movement. The most significant negation of the system is of a technical nature. The technical means which are available in prior art, are not in position to safeguard with a sufficient precision and an economical achievabilty the controlled rotation of the bell in the level of revolutions higher than is the existing top level of the ring spinning. The fixing of the yarn is achieved only by the final twist and in the case of a substantial increase of the speed of rotation of the spindle it does not endure the loading axial forces and the process is unstable, if not impossible.

Characteristic of the Invention.

[0009] The task of the invention is to propose a method of production of a yarn having a ring character, which would allow to produce the yarn essentially more quickly than it is possible to achieve with the existing method of ring spinning, mastered on a top level, and further to propose a simple apparatus for carrying out said method.

[0010] The object of the invention is to introduce such a state in the spinning process in which, in the yarn being built, the formed yarn would have, in the part of the process after the drawing step of the yarn supply to the form of a drawn roving having a yarn fineness and prior to the winding of the finished yarn on a spool, a greater number of twists than is the number of twists in the finished yarn on the wound-up spool.

[0011] To this end the invention proposes a method of production of yarn by the way of continuous spinning from a fiber sliver, comprising a step of drawing the sliver to the form of a drawn roving having the yarn fineness and strengthened by a twist obtained by rotation of the yarn beginning together with the yarn spool being wound-up on a spindle, a step of centrally guiding the yarn being produced by a guide means before its entry on the rotating working surface for guiding the yarn by the effect of centrifugal and tensional forces until reaching an eyelet aqrranged at its edge and carried with the working surface, by which the yarn is guided during its transport out of contact with the working surface for being wound-up on the rotating spool, the axial position of which with respect to the eddge of the working surface is changing during the winding, wherein the yarn circles during the guiding along the working surface of a single rotating carrier the rotating spool with the wound-up yarn with a higher frequency than is the frequency of the rotation of the spool.

[0012] It is advantageous that the carrier must exhibit at least the revolutions

, where n_v is the number of revolutions of the spool, Z is the number of the twists inserted in one meter of the yarn being built and O_min is the minimum length of the circumference of the winding of the yarn on the spool tube.

[0013] It is also advantageous that the yarn is controlled for the guiding on the working surface, for a movement with it and along it mechanically at least on the edge of the working surface by a guiding bottom provided on a circular path along the circumference of the working surface for an independant movement by the effect of the carrying forces of the rotating carrier of the working surface and of the drawing forces in the yarn being wound-up.

[0014] The invention proposes also an apparatus for carrying out the said method comprising a drawing device, an eyelet arranged centrally on the axis of the spindle, a rotating carrier of the working surface surrounding the spindle and carrying at the edge of the surface an eyelet (traveller) carried by the movement of the carrier, a device for setting the mutual axial position of the edge of the working surface and of the tube mounted on the rotating spindle, constructed in such a way that a single rotating carrier of the working surface, provided at its more remote edge of the working surface from the drawing device with a guiding member for an independant movement along the circumference of the working surface, is motionally coupled with respect to the spindle for a higher frequency of rotation, which achieves a minimum value given by a relation

, where n_v is the number of revolutions of the spool, Z is the number of the twists inserted in one meter of the yarn being built and O_min is the minimum length of the circumference of the winding of the yarn on the spool tube.

[0015] A substantial features of the claimed apparatus resides in the fact that between the drive of the carrier of the working surface and the drive of the spindle there is provided a mechanical coupling.

[0016] It is also substantial that between the individual electro-drive of the carrier of the working surface and the individual electrodrive of the spindle there is provided an electronic coupling.

[0017] A preferred feature resides in the fact that upstream of the working surface there is provided a coaxial guiding eyelet, arranged on the same carrier.

[0018] It is also advantageous that the working surface extends from the part facing the guiding eyelet away from the axis until it passes to acylindrical shape surrounding the spool with the yarn.

Description of Practical Embodiment.

[0020] The exemplary embodiment for carrying out the method comprises a drawing device 1, a guiding eyelet 2, a strengthening and guiding device 3 and a winding device 4 (Fig.1,2 and 4). The drawing device 1 is known in various embodiments from ring spinning, jet spinning and from others spinning systems and it is consequently not necessary to describe it here to more details. We shall merely note that it is possible to use here a drawing device, to which is supplied a roving or a drawing device to which is supplied a fiber sliver in such a way that on the outlet of the drawing device a drawm roving is available, the mass of the length unit of which corresponds to the mass of the length unit of the yarn to be built by the apparatus. The guide eyelet 2 is arranged concentrically around the extended axis of rotation of the strengthening and guiding device 3 and is arranged either pivotally around the said axis (Fig.1,2 and 3) or stationary on the machine frame (Fig.4).

[0021] The strengthening and guiding device 3 is constituted by a working surface 5 arranged inside of the cavity of a rotating carrier 6 and by a guiding member 7 arranged equally on the rotating carrier 6 at the edge 8 of the working surface 5 more remote from the drawing device 1 for an independant movement along the circumference of the working surface. The working surface 5 exhibits suitably a bottle-like shaped which extends from the edge 9 adjacent to the drawings device 1, i.e.from the neck, away from the axis of rotation with its increasing length in a cone-like fashion, until it passes from said conical part 11 to a cylindrical part 11 of the working surface (Fig.2 and 3).

[0022] The working surface 5 can exhibit only the cylindrical part 11 (Fig.4). An advantageous variant is the embodiment in which the guiding eyelet 2 is arranged on the same rotating carrier 6 in front of the edge 9 of the guiding surface 5 (Fig.3).

[0023] The guiding member 7 may be provided as a traveller 12 mounted on an orbital path 13 attached to the rotating carrier 6 (Fig.3) or on an orbital path 13 which forms directly part of the rotating carrier 6 (Fig.4). The guiding member can be however constituted also by an eyelet 14 provided on a member 15 pivotally mounted on a rotating carrier 6 in a bearing 16 (Fig.5). There are certainly other solutions possibles but they must enable to the guiding member moving together with the rotating carrier also an independant movement of the guiding member, i.e. for example the traveller 12 or the eyelets 14 individually with respect to the rotating carrier 6, i.e. to move with respect to it by more than one orbital rotation in the sense of the movement of the carrier 6 or by more than one orbital rotation against the sense of movement of the carrier 6, wherein is however valid the relation of absolute movement in which the absolute revolutions or the traveller 12 are less or at most equal to the revolutions n_pp of the carrier 6.

[0024] The rotating carrier 6 is constituted by a hollow drum the inner cavity of which has a shape of the previously described working surface 5. The drum is made from a light alloy and is thin-walled and if necessary it is made from a suitable composite, wherein in all the embodiments it is advantageous that the working surface 5 is made from a deposited layer of a suitable material with respect to a preferrably low friction with the yarn and a great wear resistance. It is not out of question that the working surface is provided, in order to improve the friction properties with regards to the yarn by reduction of friction forces, with a spacial groove or with a projection for constituting suitable ventilation effects preventing a direct contact of the yarn with the working surface. The rotating carrier is mounted pivotally on rolling or aerostatic bearings 17 and is driven e.g. by a belt 18. It is also advantageous that the drum constitutes directly the rotor of an electromotor or is driven by a driven friction roller. Said means are however known and current and it is therefore not necessary to describe them further in detail.

[0025] The winding device 4 is constituted by a rotating spindle 19 arranged on a bench 20 with a programm controlled movement in the direction of the double arrow 21 for setting the mutual axial position of the edge of the working surface and of the spindle 19. On the spindle 19 there is mounted a tube 22 for the yarn spool 23. According to the selection of the type of the yarn winding on the spool the programm of the movement of the bench in the direction of the arrow 21 is selected. It is also essentially possible that the spindle is mounted rigidly on the machine frame and just the rotating carrier of the working surface 5 is mounted on the bench with the described movement. The goal is a relative movement and its achievement is obtained by current means used in the art of ring spinning so that they need not be described here more in detail. It is advantageous that the spindle is driven by an individual electromotor 24 (Fig.1,4) but it may be also driven by a belt.

[0026] All the described devices of the spinning device constitute in the complex a spinning unit mounted on a frame 25 of a spinning machine adjacently in rows or eventually suitably arranged on both sides of the machine (Fig.1,2).

[0027] The senses of the movements of the rotating carrier 6 and of the spindle 19 are identical. While the rotating carrier 6 rotates with revolutions n_pp, the spindle 19 rotates only with revolutions

. It is consequently important that the movement of the rotating carrier 6 of the working surface 5 is coupled with respect to the higher angular speed of the carrier 6 either by a mechanical, or by electromechanical or even by an electronic coupling, in dependance of which drive of the rotating carrier 6 and of the spindle 19 has been used.

[0028] The described spinning apparatus works as follows. The fiber roving 27 from the roving spool 28 or a fibers sliver 29 from a sliver can 30 is supplied to a drawing device 1. From the drawing device 1 is obtained a drawn roving 31 having a mass of the length unit equal to the mass of length unit of the yarn. Immediately downstream of the clamping grip of the last pair of rollers 26 of the drawing device 1 the drawn roving is strengthened by the effect of twists, which enter into the drawn roving on the one hand by the effect of the rotation of the beginning of the yarn on the yarn spool 23 by the revolutions of the spindle 19 and on the other hand by the other twists resulting from the revolutions n_pp of the carrier of the working surface which are higher than the revolutions n_v of the yarn. The stand of the higher twist is present in the yarn 32 being built in the section of the yarn being bilt bewteen a clamping grip of the last pair of the rollers 26 of the drawing device 1 and the traveller 12 (Fig.3). In this section the yarn 32 being built is guided from a clamping grip of the last pair of rollers 26 by a guiding eyelet 2 along the working surface 5 until it reaches the traveller 12. The beginning of the section of the yarn being built is not directly in the clamping grip of the last pair of rollers 26 since at first a drawn roving 31 leaves the grip, which is, while being strengthened by the twist, pulled by the twisting into the twisting triangle, in the apex of which the yarn 32 starts to build itself. For the sake of simplicity we neglect this insignificant part of the length in the term defining the section of the yarn being built.

[0029] Downstream of the traveller 12, through which the yarn 32 being built is threaded, the originally more twisted yarn 32 starts to transform in such a way that the original excess of twists goes lost. The yarn 33 transformed in this a way is present in the transforming section of the yarn which begins at the travellers 12 and ends on the yarn spool 23. The final number Z of twists of the yarn 34 is achieved in the transformed yarn 33 just in the moment of its fixing on to the yarn spool 23. Both the yarn 32 being bult and the finished yarn 33 are strengthened by additional twist more than it is desirable for achieving a very high yarn productivity. This productivity can be essentially greater than in the cases or top productivities of the ring system and, it is not out of account that the spindle can reach the revolutions of 40 000 min⁻¹ or even more, while the yarn 34 has a character of a ring spun yarn and even further advantages in the surface structure, which are to be mentioned below.

[0030] The choice of the number of revolutions n_pp of the carrier of the working surface 6 with respect to the number of revolutions n_v of the spool depends of the technological practice in spinning various kinds of fibers to various yarn finenesses and of the requirements on the final twist properties of the yarn 34. We shall mention here only those revolutions n_pp which the working surface 5 must minimally exhibit with respect to the revolutions n_v of the spool so as the process of spinning works still in a satisfactory fashion. This is at least the number of revolutions





O_min is the minimum length of the circumference of the yarn winding on the tube in the region determined for winding the yarn.

[0031] In this extreme case of the relation n_pp>n_v the relative revolutions of the traveller 12 n_b with respect to the working surface 5 are in the interval 0 to N, where





where O_max is the greatest circumference of the yarn winding 34 on the yarn spool.

[0032] It is obvious from what has been said that even in the case of the relation of the minimal difference between n_pp and n_v selected in the limit terms, practically everywhere in the process of forming the winding of the yarn 23 on the spool tube 22, in particular on a conical one, a relative movement of the traveller 12 with respect to the working surface 5 is brought about. It holds self evidently also even for any other guiding member, as for example the eyelet 14 of the carrying member 15 (Fig.5). The relative movement of the traveller 12 or that of the eyelet 14 is accompanied also by a relative movement of the formed yarn 32 not only across the working surface away from its edge 9 adjacent to the drawing device 1 towards the edge 8, but also by a relative movement along the circumference of the working surface 5, which usefully acts on the yarn 32 being built. The circumferecial movement of the formed yarn reduces the contact with the working surface 5 and consequently reduces also the level of the reaction friction force opposing to the movement of the transversally drawn formed yarn 32. The circumferencial movement rounds off at the same time the surface of the yarn 32 to be formed and usefully reduced its hairiness. In certain conditions, in particular in the case of increased difference between n_pp and n_v it comes even to a partial rolling of the yarn which yet additionally strengthens temporarilly the yarn 32 being built in particular in the par of section of the formed yarn between the clamping grip of the last pair of rollers 26 and the guiding eyelet 2. It is consequently obvious that the apparatus for carrying out the method according to the invention usefully utilizes an aggregation of known and of completely novel elements for obtaining a clearly higher technological effect residing in the high speed of formation of the yarn 34 having a substantially ring spun character.

[0033] For example in a variant (Fig.3) the yarn 32 formed with an increased twist supported against an excessive buckling away from the rotation axis of the spindle by the working surface 5, by what any extrem arise of centrifugal forces by balooning is inhibitted and from the rotating guiding eyelet 2 the yarn is guided outwardly from the rotation axis, what means that in its loading only tensioning forces take part. The level of the tensioning forces is given by the level of the reaction friction force in particular on the working surface 5. To this purpose have been previously described the means for obtaining a reduced friction coeficient of the yarn being built, while its circumferencial relative movement along the working surface 5 yet reduces this level in a useful way. It is consequently possible to obtain in such an arrangement a satisfactory spinning process even with spindle revolutions of 50 000 min⁻¹. It is certainly clear at the same time that the technical means for a constant rotation of the carrier 6 of the working surface 5 in connection with the constant rotation of the spindle 19 are possible in the present state of the art.

[0034] Even with a high speed of the carrier 6 of the working surface there is no risk of the traveller flying away, provided it an efficient construction (Fig.4) is provided, where the traveller is applied to the carrier by a centrifugal force and by a tensional force of the yarn, opposing to the centrifugal force, it is released so that not even an excessive wear comes about.

[0035] The process of spinning can be started by spinning-in, which can be carried out as follows. The spindle 19 together with the yarn 23 is stopped and is moved to the lower position (Fig.1, dotted lines). The staff or the automatic finds the end of the yarn 34 and threads the necessary end 34 of the yarn through the traveller and through the whole cavity of the standing carrier of the working surface 5 and at the same time through the guding eyelet 2 in a variant (Fig.3) or subsequently through the eyelet 2 in another variant (Fig.4), where it is possible simply to thread the yarn in. The threading of the yarn 34 can be carried out for example by a threading needle. The threaded yarn is adapted in length after the spindle 19 with the yarn spool 23 has been return to the operative position (Fig.1) in such a way that in the section of formation of the yarn said yarn is looser in order to equalize the force effects on the yarn 34 which is not strengthened by an excess of twists in the moment of spinning-in. During all the time of said handlings the drawn roving from the clamping grip of the last pair of the rollers 26 of the drawings device 1 is sucked away by means of a displaceable sucking nozzle 35 (Fig.2 in dashed line for sucking away) into a container of recuperable waste fibres. As soon as however the yarn 34 has been supplied by a current way, used in ring spinning, on the outcoming drawn roving, the rotation of the carrier 6 of the working surface and of the spindle is restored in the required relation

. In this waz the process of spinning has been started. The looser yarn 34 in the section of the yarn being built is not loaded by tension in a standard fashion, while in the meantime a reserve of yarn 32 being built and of the transformed yarn 33 is formed.

[0036] The described method holds also for a case of a yarn break and of a function renewal of the spinning process. To simplify the steps the machine is provided with sensors of the state of spinning, which stop after a yarn break both the carrier of the working surface 5 and the spindle 19 or will also safegueard that the spindle rides down to the lower position for looking for the yarn beginning. Afterwards said means will renew the operation of the working surface 5 and also of the spindle 19 either after having introduced the yarn into a certain space, where it is normally operatively present, either in a spontaenous fashion or after an impulse of the staff, either manual or automatic.

[0037] It should be understood that it was not possible to exhaust in the description of the exemplary embodiment all the embodying possibilities of the method according to the invention.
